How To Use The Microsoft Surface Pro or Go WITHOUT The Keyboard!

When people talk about the Surface Pro or Surface Go, the one point that keeps coming up is questioning why the touch keyboard is an optional accessory instead of being included in the package. Because it's to most people's understanding that you cannot use Windows 10 via touch alone. Microsoft themselves don't really surface information about using Windows via touch properly too so they're partially at fault for causing this.

But I've been using Windows tablets without keyboards for years, and I can tell you that you can use Windows mostly fine without a keyboard as long as you're not using a fullscreen app like a game.

Here are my tips on how to use a Windows 10 Tablet such as all models of Surface Pro, Surface Go, Surface Book, (especially the new ones like the Surface Pro 7, Surface Go 2, and Surface Book3) and also from other manufactures like JOI, Acer Switch, etc. etc. WITHOUT a hardware keyboard! Let's not forget the mini gaming PCs like AYA NEO, GPD Win3, OneXPlayer, And of course the SteamDeck if you install Windows on it...
